Re: Rotate colors

Red as yes would play a color trick on me I think as it'd feel like I'd be canceling when I'm actually confirming.

So what's the problem? You think it being red will stop you from clicking on it? In which case all it takes is for you to process what you want to do for at most 2 seconds and clicking the button anyway. It's an extremely minor inconvenience to you but potentially hour saving for others.

I can see this screwing over others as well.

You want to quit and hit Go To Lobby, and you see the red button.  You forgot to save, so you decide to cancel and possibly hit red and.. it didn't cancel, it leaves the world, losing your progress.  It's arguably misleading either way, but at least the way I see it, if I hit quit, green is for-sure the confirm color while red is for-sure the cancel color, whereas if you see it as "good vs bad," what's good to you depends on the situation.  You may want to discard changes which is the "good" option, you may want to go back and save which also would be the "good" option.  What's good or bad is situational, but confirm/cancel is always consistent.  Green is always confirm, red always cancel.

Red is always “Better do not do this”, grey is “Better ignore” and green is the “best way”. Is it the best way, to quit, to lose all your changes, to be annoyed about EE again showing the correct way to lose your data, being so angry that you’ll want to quit?

No.

You’re the only one right now being the opponent of this idea. Everyone sees the good in it, why don’t you?

Sigh.. why are you not reading my posts? Ironically for a second time I'm not going to repeat my reasoning.

Anyway, you can say I'm just agreeing with the staff who decided to have it this way.

Maybe because your posts are too long to read them all?

They might seem long because I'm quoting big posts/quote chains.  It makes no sense trying to counter a post you don't read anyway, tho.  Averaging 5 or less sentences isn't too much, is it?

I, do, read your post. I don’t get them however:

Your computer is infected with a virus...
Have you ever seen a green proceed?

I have already argued that green is being used as "confirm" here and red as cancel.  You are comparing to a computer virus- in which no one would ever in their right mind desire.  I have already given examples of when discarded changes may be desired.

But why don’t you understand it that the current way is worser?

Discarded changes may be wanted, or unwanted.  Yes or No being your preferred option is situational.  In this context it's green for confirm and red for cancel.  I don't think I can get any clearer than this.

Re: Rotate colors

This honestly seems like a case of "damned if you do and damned if you don't". For me personally, I've had instances of impulsively clicking yes and undoing a lot of work and I would much rather have the colors be swapped, but at the same time I see what azure is talking about when saying that red is a color normally associated with cancellation.

Frankly, considering how many woots the OP has, I still think that swapping the colors might be the better option as to satisfy the most amount of people. Frankly maybe we can swap their positions as well, where No is on the left side and Yes on the right.

Re: Rotate colors

I believe the current colors are fine. Red/grey works too, though the current colors work fine for the reason azure specified. If I click goto lobby it's because i want to go to lobby, not because I misclicked. My misclicks are always on the X button for the tab.

I of course want to go to lobby, but if you haven't saved yet, and go to lobby, because you think one of your friend joined.
